Your premises are invalid. There is no correlation of higher salt intake and longer lifespans. Quite the opposite. Higher salt intake causes high blood pressure and heart disease. I have never claimed that vaccines cause autism. What I said was that until the cause of autism is known nothing can be ruled out.
My second paragraph was purely sardonic, and quite obvious at that. I have neither the time nor the inclination to go through your other posts on other books to see if you have commentary on autism.
You have shown your cards, which is to say I am now convinced you are a troll, and if not a troll then so far gone that I do not possess the ability to bring you back.
There is a correlation of higher salt intake and longer lifespans. Before the harvesting of salt from the ground or oceans, people such as the neanderthals lived about 28-48 years. They consumed about a gram of sodium a day. Meanwhile, modern societies consume 5-20x that amount and lives 2-4x as long. That is a clear correlation.
I repeat my request for you to provide "organic sodium" sources that are enough to sustain both a sedentary human and also an athlete.
Correlation is not causation. Dr. Albert Schweitzer said that cancer was virtually unknown in West Africa until white people introduced the natives to salt. Then he started seeing tumors in his medical practice. Sodium and salt are not the same. Sodium in natural foods is organic; salt is inorganic. Inorganic matter is indigestible. Salt is indigestible. Learn the difference.
I am aware of the difference between correlation and causation. My response was to your comment "There is no correlation of higher salt intake and longer lifespans"
One doctor and his reports of cancer is hardly conclusive evidence.
I am aware salt and sodium are not the same, if you had read my comments you would see I made clear distinction by saying "Rock salt" you know, it's in a ROCK form.
For the third and final time I will give you the opportunity to redeem yourself and provide me a list of foods that have sufficient quantities of sodium that a normal sedentary human could consume. I further request you explain whether a highly active individual such as an endurance athlete could survive on these sources. Additionally, I would ask you to explain how endurance athletes are able to extract the sodium chloride from "indigestible" salt found in sports drinks and electrolyte mixes.
I have been strictly salt-free for more than fifteen years. My sodium and chloride levels are normal. Since salt is indigestible it cannot contribute anything to sodium and chloride needs of the body. I eat seaweed once a week for iodine. Call me a troll if you like, but any medical doctor will tell you that high salt intake causes heart disease. I don't know what is in sports drinks.
Endurance athletes are nourished by minerals in natural foods because they cannot digest the inorganic minerals in salt.
Albert Schweizer was a philosopher and a musician, not a nutritionist or an actual doctor in the sense that they're known today. I would not trust Schweizer to prescribe me a glass of water.
